A woman in her 60s had a low rectal cancer close to the anal opening. Chemotherapy and radiation were given first, then a sphincter-saving operation with a temporary ileostomy that was later reversed — avoiding a permanent bag. A low rectal cancer can often be treated without a permanent stoma.
A man in his 60s had rectal bleeding; colonoscopy found a polyp containing an early (Stage I) cancer. It was removed through the anus (transanal local excision) with no abdominal incision and no stoma, and no residual disease was left. Rectal bleeding should be checked — early colonoscopy can catch rectal cancer when a small local removal is enough.
A man in his 60s had a locally advanced, node-positive mid-lower rectal cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation given before surgery shrank the tumour, then a sphincter-saving resection (with a temporary ileostomy, later reversed) removed it completely, with clear nodes on the final report. Even locally advanced rectal cancer can be downstaged by treatment before surgery and fully removed.
A man in his late 40s had a rectal cancer in the upper-mid rectum confirmed on colonoscopy.
